what feature(s) were you expecting or needing ? I have 37 homekit devices and the scheduled functions work well for me - I am hoping for more stability as there are a few devices I have power cycle from time to time to bring back online.
Features like:
1- To schedule playing music from iTunes playlists.
2- The ability to do something with the Airport Express connected speakers (Airport expresses show up in HomeKit but you cannot do anything with them).
3- Means of remotely resetting/cycling the power of the accessories instead of going to each device and doing it manually, or by restarting the the iOS device to fix connectivity issues.
4- To integrate some of the the manufacturers lighting schemes into the HomeKit app.
 
Finished download size is 4.137.160.031 Byte at my computer - but still can't install successfully because of the iTunes download not finishing. Apple Configurator tells me it can't unzip the ipa (probably the new packaging mentioned in the keynote). Trying the Configurator beta now...

Download the Xcode beta and it will work

Still can't control alarm volume independently of ringer volume... This annoys me to no end. I am really starting to detest Apple and wish Android wasn't such an utter mess.
 
OMG the volume indicator is better

its a bar at the top of the screen on the iPad that gets slightly bigger then shrinks down
 
Will do that. I was also wondering if just doing the 10.15 beta first would solve it too, but I'll start there.
I would never recommend installing the first Mac OS beta on a production machine, iOS is much easier to revert. I'd recommend checking out 10.15 once the second public beta is released, at the earliest.

Interesting... the image must be installed using itunes... but itunes is going away... hmm. :D
What if.... Apple gets rid of iTunes, then after 6 months bring it back for $100 per year. Lol. Joke. Apple; don’t copy my ideas.
 
They took the Control center volume control and made it the new Volume HUD... what a ***** joke..... I guess it's better than the atrocity that was on there before, but that's not saying much.

My iPad Pro 10.5 has already replaced 95% of my Macbook usage, to the point I now timeshare on my wife’s MacBook for the things I can’t do on my IPP. Desktop class safar, file download manager (& integration with the Files app) plus multi-windowed apps (they had me at running 2 instances of MS Word side by side) and iPadOS has me practically vibrating with anticipation.

Will jump in with my beta profile once iPadOS goes GM later this year, but Apple just knocked a couple of percentage points off of that last 5% I need a Macbook for.

If Apple play their cards right I may end up upgrading to a newer IPP later this year too.




cursor support is a nail in the coffin for macbooks

Why is it a joke? Quit moaning...it is no longer in the middle of the screen which was the main issue.

If you can't see why that design choice is a joke then I can't help you.... It's certainly better than the old one but is that really saying much? that thing was an absolute atrocity.

I was scared it was going to be like that from the leak. I'm still hoping as it gets closer to GM release, that they change it to look more like the Instagram one (which I find looks the best so far IMO).

It’s a volume switch what exactly were you expecting? It didn’t need a redesign it just needed to be moved off the middle of the screen...it’s not something that is worth while enough to need a redesign.

Yeah, thanks, needed that reminder, never done this before at all, ever in the last 20 years. :D Never used a VM either. :lol:
